Dubai

Georgia (in EurAsia) is something I haven’t heard of, until I came to UAE. It’s one of the weekend escape choices for expats when the heat is unforgiving in the desert concrete jungle. The weather is cooler, the food is appetizing, the landscape is stunning, and it’s only 3.5 hours away from Dubai. The bonus, it’s visa-free for Filipinos who have a valid UAE residence visa.
